According to the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET), cloudy intervals will dominate the early hours of the day, with thunderstorms expected from 6:00 AM onwards. These storms will taper off, leading to increased cloudiness and eventual partly cloudy skies by the end of the day.
Rainfall accumulation is anticipated to be minor, with approximately 0.2 liters per square meter expected around 9:00 AM, followed by around 0.1 liters at 2:00 PM. Throughout the day, isolated thunderstorms may continue to persist. Fortunately, temperatures are projected to remain stable, ranging from 14°C to 17°C, with the maximum felt temperature potentially reaching 18°C due to humidity. Winds will predominantly come from the east.
For the following day, Sunday promises to present cloud cover from dawn until midday. The clouds are expected to dissipate around noon, allowing for clearer skies as the day progresses. Both the maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to hold steady, with the minimum staying at 14°C and the maximum around 17°C.
